One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.

The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it's possible to achieve the American dream.

American style is about confidence, independence, diversity and free expression.

Good sportsmanship goes beyond the game; it starts with respect.

The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.

I think preppy stands for optimism, confidence, energy and authenticity.

I always say if I weren't a fashion designer, my other dream job is being a rock star!

Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.

Political correctness gets in the way of all too many things in this country of ours, I am not a subscriber of political correctness by any means, shape or form.

Today is the tomorrow you were optimistic about yesterday. What are you doing today to make tomorrow as rewarding as you had hoped today would be?
